What you say at 11:05. RIGHT. ON. It does NOT matter. Your size does not matter TO US. And it SHOULD NOT. Be strong. Be honest. Thank you for this.

You are NOT alone. Know this: YOU ARE SURROUNDED by people who feel this way to some degree.

(part 4) please know that there are people out here who wish and pray for your success and happiness. I hope I can see more of your videos in the future! Thanks for your honesty and openness with us! You really are an inspiration!

(part 3) I worry about gaining weight too and sometimes the sensation of being satisfied by a meal makes me feel like I'm going to gain 20 lbs >< This is an irrational fear. It's one of those things that will be stuck in my head for life, but just know that as long as you're keeping an eye on 'what' your eating, everything will be fine. If you 'do' happen to gain a few pounds, you know from first hand experience that it can be lost again. I'm rambling, I don't think I've said anything, but

(part 2) The fantastic thing about fat and all things weight loss related is that it is 100% surmountable. Cancer is a question mark. HIV/AIDS is a question mark. Fat/loose skin/wrinkles can be gotten rid of. And even if they can't, we're healthier people because we're losing the weight. We will live longer and encourage others and that's super important. Please don't be discouraged.

(part 1) I had my surgery 3 days ago. I'm 25 and when I first saw my doctor I was 460 lbs. My ultimate goal is 160 (my 'relaxed' goal is 180-170). That's 300 lbs that I want to lose. I went through all of this before my surgery and I'm sure it'll resurface as I lose weight. In an odd way, your video is very inspirational because so many times I only hear the "glitz and glamor" side. It's nice to hear someone talk about negatives. I will say this though: keep your chin up.

You are someone to look up to, most particularly for your honesty and candidness. You are not alone, I think most of us have food and body issues to some degree, but it's not what we end up talking about. I wish you well.

Even if u "don't" "Feel qualified to be the person that bariatric patients look up to" u need to know that you ARE a person for "any" person struggling with weight and/or depression issues to look at and listen to. Everyone who goes on this journey will not end up happy and go-lucky but they DO need to know that there is a possibility of a down side.

Please don't feel that you have let ANYONE down. You have NOT.... and please please, take care of YOU. I wish you the absolute Best.

that i will not let anyone treat me how they want and that i do matter and my number one is God first and foremost, myself, and my girls. i give u thanks for this video and know that i will be there if you ever want to talk. i have 1 person i talk to about my "issues" and that is melanie, myownlighthouse, she knows me inside and out and its sad that it is that way for me, i wish i could be more honest about myself with people but i dont feel comf with myself enough to me. thank u again 4 this.

[angie2sm]

i totally agree with you about not even bending the truth a tiny with where you are mentally about the surgery. i wish i had the strength to make a video and be as brutally honest as you have been and maybe one day i will be but right now i cant be. my journey has been a roller coaster from day one, i was married, got divorced, got remarried and now heading for divorce again VERY SOON. it is a huge issue for me mentally but going through everything I have been, i have come to a conclusion...
